Had my bike at East Coast Cycle Center in Bensalem, Pa today to have new exhaust seals installed. While there I asked about the oil leak into the airbox, showed them Lamonster's fix and asked if that would void the warranty. They called BRP and were told to put a foam element in the breather tube. So far, trying all the right hand turns that would make it leak and after 50 miles not a drop of oil has leaked. I apologize there are not pictures as it was installed by the dealer but this seems to work so check with your dealer, this was covered by the warranty as were the seals. Also had the steering update done and it does make a difference.:yes::yes::yes::clap:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
BRP fix for oil leak

I put foam in the breather tube. This is only a temporary fix. After about 10,000 miles it needs to be replaced, the foam becomes saturated and no longer lets the oil go back down the breather tube. So, you once again, you get oil in the Air box. So, after replacing mine twice. I have installed the home made catch can. Now when I do an oil change, I just dump the oil out of the catch can. Much simpiler and more efficient, than cleaning the air box.

The 'foam fix' is equal to putting a band-aid on a severed corroded artery. I would be shocked if this was an actual BRP approved fix. Until it's in writing from BRP - I doubt it was more than a suggestion.
The oil catch or switch to the Race Air System are much better options in my opinion.

foam??
:agree:Stuffing foam down the breather tube is only a Stop-Gap fix, temporary at best.:shocked:
